Just wondering if anyone had any views or experience of either the two above games? They look interesting from what I've seen on browsing the web and was wondering if it was worthwhile pursuing the investigations any further.

Sort of combining two threads into one with both Xfire and the above subject. I would like to play either M'44 or Xfire in the New Year. Although I'm thoroughly enjoying FoW, I'm looking at the other two as alternatives due to them hopefully requiring less "resources" (such as time etc). Also, I enjoyed the Xfire demo and the game itself has a lot of strong points to commend itself to me. I believe this to be the case with both M'44 and A&A, the only perceived problem with A&A is that it takes a few hours to play whereas I would prefer "a fit into an evening" couple of hours max type of game. So yes, I would like to take you up on the offer and in the first instance would like to look at the M'44 game if that would be okay at a time that would mutually suit both? I'd hope that the basic M'44 boxed set has plenty of mileage in it as I don't wish to have to buy expansions for it too soon? Also, if you can track a copy of Xfire down for me, it would be appreciated (if it's not impertinent to ask, what would the cost roughly be)? Keep us posted on your plans for both (M'44 and Xfire) as I'd certainly be interested. Just wondering if we should start a new thread and in which section so that it's easily acessible to find and follow?

Okay, okay , but even you'd admit that the game is worth pursuing and it's a shame that it's out of print just now. Guess I make the cheque out to your wife and when she asks what it's for....? (Ps I think I've overstretched the 40th birthday reason on FoW so no fifty quid as it got spent on Scotch and FoW ).

M44 is dead easy to play but hard to master and several games can be played in one evening. A&A seesm to be a longer game and I guess you would have to really know the system to get it done in one night. This BTW is just my view on it as I have not played it...

XFire I have a search on E-bay and I am in the Yahoo Group for it. (anyone can joinb the group). If another copy comes up I don't know what the price will be. The one I got for Nobby was £12 if I remember correctly? I just asked him to pay what I had paid for it.

M44 and Xfrie again the New Year for certain. The basic box set has enough legs on it to run long enough. I have yet to play all the scenarios and they have more on the web.

I ran a tourney a year or two ago for it and if we had enough interest I reckon it would be dead easy to run another Saturday event / tourney if we had enough sets for players to use.

I will be back in the area from the 29th Dec and open to offers of games that week. No plans as yet for New Year so could be around the whole week. Will the shop be open next week?

With a bit of help from Santa, I ended up going for Memoir '44, so thanks to all (both staff and MJ) for comments and advice. Look forward to getting the games in now so we just need to arrange a time when it's mutually convenient .

I can't make it tonight as I've family commitments / gathering tonight . Seems like there's enough other people interested in M'44 that games will be played soon enough (just hoping that'll be me as well getting some spare time for it). Hopefully game soon when we're both free.
